Interesting...
So, with two new expansion franchises in central Canada (Ottawa and Brampton), that will mean six central Canadian teams and four Atlantic teams next year, unless we lose a franchise or two in the meantime (like Montreal).
I wonder what this will mean for divisional alignment?
Will they keep the divisions asymmetric, or will they put Montreal in with the Atlantic Division? Personally, I don't think they would do this, especially with the new Ottawa franchise. They would want to encourage regional rivalries....
I wonder if they won't keep an asymmetric alignment next year, and hope for another couple of central Canadian expansion franchises the following year. Then they could have a 12 team league with three division of four teams each.....
